It seemed like Los Blancos had an early lead when Lucas Vazquez scored a shot into Sevilla’s net from close range in the 9th minute of the match. But the Spaniard’s effort was rejected after VAR determined that Nacho had committed a foul in a previous coordination situation.

Real Madrid then still had many opportunities in the first half, but Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde still looked ungainly when they could not convert into goals.

Entering the second half, Real Madrid was still the team in complete control of the game. However, the attackers, especially Valverde, still couldn’t celebrate when he had a shot and hit the post.

It seemed the match had ended with a 0-0 draw amid the deadlock of Real Madrid’s αttαck, but Luka Modric turned into a “hero” to retain 3 points for the home team.

In the 81st minute, after a poor defensive situation by the away team’s defender, Modric picked up the ball and fired a quality shot from outside the penalty area to open the score for Real Madrid. Sevilla players thought that Real’s player was in an offside position when Modric’s shot was taken, but the referee still recognized the goal.

In the end, Real Madrid won 1-0 against Sevilla. This result helps Carlo Ancelotti’s team firmly secure the top spot in La Liga with 65 points after 26 rounds, 8 points more than second-place team Barca.
